United States v. Luis Hernandez-Ortega

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Luis Hernandez-Ortega (Hernandez) appeals from the judgment imposed after the district court revoked the term of supervised release that he was serving in connection with his 2010 illegal reentry conviction. He concedes that he violated the conditions of his supervised release that prohibited him from committing an *396 other crime and from illegally reentering the United States. He argues, however, that the written judgment includes a clerical error insofar as it indicates that he additionally violated the condition of his supervised release requiring that he report immediately to the nearest United States probation officer upon legally reentering the country. The Government concedes the error.

Our review of the record confirms that whether Hernandez had violated his supervised release conditions by failing to report was not at issue during the revocation hearing; indeed, the revocation was based upon a subsequent illegal reentry, not a legal one. Because the district court made no mention of such a violation at any point in the revocation hearing, including during its oral pronouncement of sentence, the oral pronouncement of sentence conflicts with the written judgment, and the case is REMANDED FOR THE LIMITED PURPOSE of allowing the district court to conform its written judgment to its oral pronouncement of sentence. See United States v. Martinez, 250 F.3d 941, 942 (5th Cir. 2001).

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
